Talsequin 8D-7, a data peddler, is short, unassuming, and balding. Beneath his
worn coat, a number of data jacks implanted into his chest can extend forward
to extract a binary harvest from any computer or machine. He usually sells the
information to corporate clients but is also a knowledge broker for the people
of the streets. Data hacked from surveillance systems allow him to corroborate
rumors, sightings, and back-alley betrayals.

This tech-savant has a multi-jointed extensor attached


beneath one arm. While the spindly metal limb is
designed to aid his computer hacking and repairs, it
can extend spinning blades in place of a multi-tool.
It also houses a camera that scans in all directions,
most notably behind him. The feed through the back
of his cranium routes targeting information to his
cybernetic eye, to locate threats and to guide the

Zen Bastards ++ AC ROWLEY 08

by Påtrïck Möën
The characters find themselves surrounded by a score of bloodthirsty thugs.
::Several NANOGOONS and AC ROWLEY (use the statistics of an HEIR OF KERGOZ)
>>> THEY DEMAND A "ROAD TOLL" OF 1,000¤. ELSE: BULLET STORM.

AC Rowley has been thriving on the streets for as long as anyone can remember. From
a glance, he looks as young as the underage hooligans in his gang of or-
phans. Hearing him rant about occult philosophy or dictate elaborate tac-
tical plans to his underlings reveals a deeply graveled voice and a gnarled
ancient mind. His cybertech dates back to the beginnings of CY.

AC Rowley carries an obscure and precious tome, worn and bloodstained.


Its cover reads “The Book of Lies.”
How does Rowley control the Zen Bastards you ask? A perceptive question
indeed. Firstly, Rowley’s operational motto is DO AS THOU WILST, a rule
everybody enjoys to follow. Secondly, a subtle
nano-infection promotes a group hypnosis effect.
Thirdly, he has mysteriously acquired a warehouse
full of the latest electro-motive skateboards
[classified: designed by the Virid Vipers for use in urban
assault and ambush maneuvers].
The Zen Bastards are unmatched in their ability
to ambush in overwhelming, highly mobile mobs.
Then, they disappear into the shadows, long
before counterforces can react.

hookup, and Messiah of Chaos.

Breakneck
by Travis Small

PLAYER NAME: .........................


13

Exists in a life-state of “volume cranked to 11/10”. Chronic gambler, chain smoker


(the real stuff), huffs chemicals (the good stuff). The cyber mafia broke his
legs in too many places, so Breakneck had them amputated for cybernetic legs.
Now he runs faster than the wind. Faster than the mafia goons anyway. His legs also
store a variety of exceedingly useful items, including fog juice capsules,
allowing for some daring escapes from scenes of ugly rimes. Also pumps post-
post-industrial thrash from a speaker system built into his legs.

“Life is cheap, but my services ain’t.” ««


INSERT COIN TO CONTINUE

Breakneck tells everybody who cares to listen about


a supposed heist he pulled at a Royal West Shipping
warehouse. Made off with drugs worth a million creds
or more. All gone now, obviously. Still, he’s got the
skills, and whoever's got the credits can hire him
properly. Breakneck also did time in the Borgholds,
allegedly, as is the tradition for hardened criminals.

mammals—they’re just not supposed to be so little, simply disgusting!

Loves to bluster about philosophy and politics.
Conflicting anti-corp and anti-society ideals. Either could be

by Boczek & Barb

Two minds, one paycheck. Stev’s got a lot on his plate. Working for two
gigs is hard, and his alter ego isn’t cheap in upkeep. Not that he knows
about Zoom, not even a hint. One moment, submissive corpo drone, wasting
his life away in some nondescript megafactory’s smelter line. Insignifi-
cant as a plague gnat in a trauma room. Working 100-hour weeks making dirt
for creds, living in some superpod employee housing. THE COMPLEX. It has
all he’ll ever need. Plenty of shops, a coffin-sized bed. He never goes out
anyways, 14-hour shifts and all that. Why is he racking up
such back attendance though? The boss isn’t happy at all,
might be out on the street soon.
And then what?
The next moment you can catch Stev[ZOOM] embroiled in
a deathmatch. Always hopped up on whatever he can get
his hands on. RED-JUICE, Miura, 0/SLEEP; nobody gives
a shit, Stev[ZOOM] least of all. This fucking chem head is
always strung out, loitering where drugs and related paraphernalia are traded freely. There, or
wherever you can provoke a good ol’ brawl. Unpredictable. Completely incoherent.
Incomprehensible. Zoom only goes Vmax , screaming "ZOOOOOOM!" like a demented siren.

QUALITY:

Dozens of people toil in this boiling hot factory.
Refilling printers, polishing guns, shooting
holographic soldiers. Some pray at a carbon altar.

a) The overseer HESEKIEL has an eye out for newcomers. He is under


order of Her Most Holy Mother of Lambs, Seraphima, to screen for true
aspirants and kill the rest. Unbelievers and agents become polymer base.

“You lot, name yourselves. Are you bugged, or what?


You can’t just simply stroll into my factory and
hope to leave with all your implants still intact.”

HESEKIEL wants to check the characters’ possessions and com logs to


verify whether they are corpers or not.

b) The CVLTISTS working in the factory, aside from Hesekiel, are all
thralls. They have gained no usefull HADRON POWERS or are too
stupid to use them. Burn marks adorn their foreheads. They display the
marks of their awakening proudly.

c) Finished weapons and ammunition go on large carts into an industri-


al sized elevator. It descends into the facility. The characters can take
the same route. In a sealed part of the factory, only accessible from the
roof, ventilation shafts lead into room 7 (server room).

as Seraphima before him, received the

him her blessed pet now, allowing the cultists

The floating brains have codes burnt into

Crystal is searching for). Unfortunately, Giacomo’s

A plain old mass-murderer.


Organia used to forcibly induce

collected a few mementos from the
